[RubiTrack]

Were you having an earthquake while you were filming this?

[TheCreativedb]

Wow your dock is BUSY...nice video man :)

[Horizontc10]

i cant see shit

[TransporterMusic]

Do I need any special software or app on my imac in order to use the video sharing thing? Or do I just plug it in and configure the settings and I'm off and rolling from there?

[WYIT0]

Finally someone who shows you the settings part (the important part). :)

[zorster]

[bood3e]

[Zeemanuk]

Could you connect 2 external monitors? (so you have one to the left and one to the right of the Imac)

[krazycitizen]

nice try, but unwatchable

[TheWisePhotographer]

is it possible for a triple monitor setup?

[jmoorokc]

Why are you whispering in this video? SPEAK UP!

I have the sound up to 100% on my laptop and can barely hear you.

[jmoorokc]

Why are you whispering in this video? Speak up!

FUCK I HAVE THE NEW 24 INCH IMAC!!!! WHY ARE MY PARENTS SO AWSOME THAT THEY BUY ME NEW STUFF YET I HAVE TO SPEND MONEY TO DO THIS S%^%

[soypet1971]

Can I buy you a flash light for Christmas?

[leepetersonuk]

how about Mini-DVI to iMac?

[Felesity]

Great video! Now I know which adapter to buy.

thanks

[liz1mac]

yo dude got mine set up today and now trying to find out what cable to have sound from second monitor. saw this video and i did the same as you with buying the wrong cable. mac should make this clear. keep up the good work :) x

[RicSF55]

No wonder it took you an age to find the system preferences icon - that's some serious overcrowding down there man!

[li14lax]

Now that you have a second monitor. Is it possible to shut off the iMacs screen completely? Say i want to connect an iMac to an HDTV and use the iMac as a computer but not a monitor.

[Glyro95]

Nice Thanks man.

[ipoosk]

Change your smoke detector battery man xD

Nice Tutorial though :)

[xdram]

is this McLovin?

[thebasedrummer]

what is the gray usb cabel at 2:13 ?

[thebasedrummer]

thx man. you're the best

[glittapuss]

My external monitor was working fine for 1 month now all of a sudden my imac is not detecting it?

[PortalRealm]

people read this... if you dont have a dvi input for your input DONT buy a vga-to-dvi cable. you're not getting a dvi signal since the vga monitors' quality is vga. DONT buy the cable.

[PortalRealm]

do you need to install some program or do anything? or does the imac (in my case) will automatically detect the other display? plz respond thanks

[SpezializedDemo8]

nice video thanks....now i can use my old/new Dell Monitor on my iMAC YEAHHHHH :D

[Blizering]

lol i needed an mini dvi to dvi adapter on my old 20'' imac the white one you know and set it up with my 20'' cinema display wich is dvi.... anyways when i compare both screens the color on the cinema seems a bit yellow compared to my imac any ideas i tried all the color profiles none matched?

[japajill]

hold up, u need to pay extra money just to get dual display from your mac. Most of my computer has dual out for graphics card. I guess this is another apple tax!

[ccl4lcc]

a dizzy shoot

[manik79]

are your parents sleeping? is that why you are whispering?

[DoxiMoxi]

HD MY ASS

[Mattcrowley2a]

I like Windows 7 much better than Windows Vista. But I got fascinated with the iMac while I was at school.

[megamindstorm101]

yeah and now that you can run windows on a mac you have windows 7 AND mac os10 :)

[strangelman]

Would be nice if you had more light in the room. And it would be better if you're not panning left, right, left, right all the time like an autistic person :)

[NotAnAmericanIdiot2]

@strangelman The video is good but I had to laugh at this comment as some folks always complains about something, no matter how hard one tries.

[Ashyo99]

can you do this with the apple LCD cinema display?

[Stormbreaker888]

Yeah of course i think it was meant for that lol

[MacTechMan]

YES

[OriginalMitch]

awesome video it helped alot, i rated 4 stars because there was poor focusing, other than that it was awesome!

[rorymorris1]

Thanks man!  Nice, to the point and no bullshit!

[xNJRx18x]

good video, but you need a tripod. the video is very shakey

[esconzalez]

AWESOME!!!

[DirectTalk]

Great video bro 5/5! I can't wait to get a Mac.

[Rutul2]

Which one is better Dvi or VGA

[techstuff1227]

DVI

[MicahKnite]

@techstuff1227 now its HDMI....and then there ThunderBolt...

[MacTechMan]

DVI has a higher quality picture

[CarbonFiIms]

But doesn't vga have faster response time?

[MacTechMan]

As far as I can tell, they are the same. (I have two external monitors; one vga, and one dvi)

[CarbonFiIms]

I suppose you only need the fastest response time for gaming anyway... im gonna stick with vga.

[drrobertoboogie97]

@Rutul2 DVI all the way
